Piazzas and Pizzas: Adventures of the Clean Plate Club in Italy
You remember how your parents always used to encourage you to eat all the food on your plate at each meal?
- “Eat your food, you want to be a member of the Clean Plate Club!”
- “Here comes the airplane – open up the airplane hanger and let it in…”
- “If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”
And the ever-popular, “there are starving children in China/Africa/Arizona who don’t have any food, so you better eat”.
Well, it ends up that our parents were lying to us.
